Computational Aesthetics draws from both a long history of artistic expression and the possibilities that computational methods can provide. As such, its success depends on a dialogue between the arts world and computer science. Based on the experience we gained through an art-computer science joint project on non-repetitive patterns we attempt to document our personal dialogue, to analyze the ...

The rise of three dimensional installation art as a medium of artistic expression in the developing countries of Southeast Asia over the past decade is irrefutably transforming paradigms of modern art throughout the region. Through its capacity to relate meaningful, controversial and often politically critical subject matter in an indirect and implied fashion, installation art has become a favo...

The article is an introduction to the research on axiology of space viewed from the perspective of architecture. The chief assumption is the proposition that creation of values in works of architecture is a peculiar means of artistic expression, which – if used in creative arts – leads to cultural development of communities. The result of the research work is a postulate of narrowing down and g...

In composing hand-drawn images of 3D scenes, artists often alter the projection for each object in the scene independently, thereby generating multiprojection images. We present a tool for creating such multiprojection images and animations, consisting of two parts: a multiprojection rendering algorithm and an interactive interface for attaching local cameras to the scene geometry. We describe ...

We introduce a novel intelligent system which can generate new Chinese calligraphic artwork that meets certain aesthetic requirements automatically. In the machine learning phase, parametric representations of the existent calligraphic artwork are derived from input images of calligraphy. Using a six-layer hierarchical representation, the acquired knowledge is organized as a small structural st...

We describe a flexible algorithm that can create many different kinds of aesthetic fractal patterns. The main idea of the algorithm is to randomly place progressively smaller copies of a motif within a region, thus producing a fractal pattern. This has been found to work for a wide variety of shapes for both the motif and the enclosing region. We show a several examples. If the region is a fund...

This short note describes a development of the traditional Pythagorean tree fractal to produce interesting three-dimensional structures based on cubes rather than squares. Adding a 90˚rotation at each bifurcation encourages three-dimensional growth, creating increasingly artistic shapes as the branching angle decreases. 1. Pythagorean box trees The Pythagorean tree is a plane fractal constructe...

In this paper, we explore the use of a commercial computer game-engine “Unreal Tournament 2004” (UT2004) to produce “Immersive Environments” (IEs) which provide the digital artist with a new mode of expression, to engage with the viewing public as individuals or in collaboration. We explore two modalities of Art, the ‘gallery’ and the ‘installation’. Through a reflection on various twentieth-ce...

The limits of artistic creation have received increasing attention in recent years. Yet, whether is an independent right or just a form freedom expression not clear, despite the sentences Constitutional Tribunal concerning this issue. This paper contributes to debate on basis notions and culture. subjetive nature these may entail important consequences, as we discuss. &nbsp
